So, as some of you may know, we are getting married this Thursday, May 19th. For those of you who didn’t know, consider yourselves in the loop! But the part where the blog post comes into play is: we’re having a virtual reception, and everyone is invited! I figure that there’ll probably be some questions [...]

Thought I’d take a little break from the self-focused opines and blatherings to do something a little more fun. So on that note, I present my selections for the top ten sci-fi bands. Feel free to add your own or share your list! 10. Daft Punk – While their music isn’t all specifically sci-fi, their [...]

A lot of people have fond memories of their childhood, and spend a lot of their adult life trying to recapture their youth; attempting to regress back to the time where someone else fixed all of their problems and they could just play, avoid dealing with things, and not have to worry about a thing. [...]

I can’t sleep. Why? Because I’m paranoid. Paranoia isn’t healthy. Paranoia erodes (this would make a great band name). But after traumatic events, your brain cannot always process information normally or rationally, so when it sees/hears/thinks something that ordinarily would be processed/filtered in a rational way, it may respond and react in totally abnormal ways, [...]

A lot has been said about the ongoing ‘war’ between Apple and Adobe (with Apple refusing Adobe’s Flash player on its mobile devices). Emotions run high, words like ‘open’ are flung about like monkey poo, and everyone seems to be able to spout an opinion on it, so… me too. First of all, I think [...]

Last Saturday, I took the minions & a friend to something called ‘Abbey Road on the River;’ an all-weekend music fest devoted to The Beatles. This is something that they apparently do annually in Kentucky (!), but it was the first time they’d taken it ‘on the road’ to D.C. I have to confess to »

If you’d have asked me a few years ago about what Apple would be moving towards, yesterday’s announcements on the Apple TV would probably have gotten the most focus from me, as they’re exactly what I predicted they should be. While making the Apple TV a glorified Airport Express seems pretty obvious when you think »

I’ve never felt like DC is really my home. Yes, I was born here (in Alexandria, in the hospital where my grandmother worked – some of my earliest memories are of that hospital, when my step-grandfather was taken in for a heart attack). And no, I’ve never lived in the city proper, only in the »

One of my biggest pet peeves is being insulted and/or having lies spread about me. It’s immature, it’s unproductive, and it is one of the sneakiest ways to bully and abuse someone there is. Demeaning names aren’t cute or funny, but what’s more amazing is how people respond when you tell them you don’t want »

I’m overwhelmed by all of the support and encouragement I’ve gotten since posting about my experiences yesterday. It means so much to me, and really does help. Typically I deal with things by getting into some sort of non-human mode, where I shut off my emotions and feelings and put on the ‘stiff upper lip,’ »

I’ve just been through a very difficult and personal trauma, and I’ve decided to share it online. Why would anyone choose to share personal and sensitive information about themselves? Well, admittedly it’s not my usual MO. I’m a very private and contained person usually and put on masks to blend in with others and hide »
